Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies

I love this embosslit - Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings, just one of the many formats of tools that can be used in the Big Shot or cuttlebug.  These dies not only cut out the shape but also emboss the shape, hence the name embosslit, and in this case the embossed shape is butterflies.  These cards are from my something OLD collection, but I would like to share them with you......
Yellow, blue and white; SU's Daffodil Delight (satin ribbon no longer available), Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White, is always a refreshing combination and with a little bling, although simple, I really like this card.  The wording is from the retired 119163 Cottage Garden
A little closer...
And another simple example using the butterflies on Whisper White.  The frames are drawn on using a rectangular card template.  This gives the uneven but straight lines...I like that look

Playing with colours and bling/pearls, again something very simple using Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Rose Red and Perfect Plum complemented with thank you stamps from the retired 115930 Thank You Kindly
and a litle closer....
And for a spot of colour I used the SU DSP and pleated ribbon from a past mini - how I LOVE this ribbon....

Get well soon is from the retired 116416 Sincere Salutations stamp set
 


My beautiful son loves this card, it is a spinner card I made for Ben's Grandmother, the colours inspired from the colour of the clothing we bought for her...Wisteria, Pink Pirouette, Certain Celery and of course whisper white. There is another example of making the card with Catherine Pooler.
The embossing folder is 155964 Elegant Bouquet is highlited with 102023 Dazzling Diamonds and coloured with coordinating markers.  The wording is from the beautiful 121500 Curly Cute. Love, love, love that lettering.
Enjoy creating using your Big Shot and Beautiful Wings Embosslits Dies, exclusive to SU.  They are a must to have and wonderful to play with.

Happy crafting
Love

Framelits Dies (Labels Collection), Edgelits Dies & EF (Adorning Accents)

The SU Autumn - Winter Mini catalogue for 2012 is full of wonderful things stamps, tools and accessories / dies for the Big Shot machine.

Tonight's highlight is on Adorning Accents - the name given to the range of Edgelits Dies and the coordinating Textured Impressions Embossing Folders.  Rach who I consider a very dear friend, and I got our creative heads together one evening and came up with this example for me to demonstrate at an upcoming workshop.  I don't know about you, but I really love the design and so followed many more colour and embossing combinations.  I will share only a few with you...
